Hi all!
This is 3rd development update post for Henry's Son Chapter 5 and it's most likely going to be the last one! :)
I have some good news about the game so let me talk about them!

Overall development status:

In general, development of Chapter 5 has good and bad moments! Sometimes I have very good days when I make tons of content for it and sometimes I don't make anything at all. Mostly because of lack of time.

However I can safely say that Chapter 5 is on it's finish line!
Yes! After all these months this final Chapter is close to being finished! I'm very excited about it!

I decided to tell you more about the progress made for this Chapter!
Here's a small list of things and their completion in %:

Level design / levels / map design: 100%
Gameplay / blueprints: 100%
Music: 75%
Dialogues and voice acting: 35% (voice acting yet to be done near the end of the development)
Sound design: 80%
Cutscenes: 80%
Assets (models, textures, etc.) 100%

As you can see most of this Chapter is done! The most time eating things are done (gameplay mechanics, map design, assets and mostly cutscenes)

The things left to do are:

Endings (2 endings in form of cutscenes)
Voice acting (I always do it at the end of the development cycle)
Music (2 soundtracks left to make)
Optimisation
Achievements
Testing + fixing bugs before release

It may seem like a lot but trust me! We are very close!
I hope you're excited about the progress of this Chapter! :)

Now I would like to explain why it took so long to make this Chapter...

Release date and why it takes so long:

In short!

.

.

.

it was my fault...

Let me explain! So as you know Chapter 5 had many past release dates it has failed to release on time. This was because of bad planning.
Life is unpredictable. When I was giving up the release dates

I always had a plan, something like this:

"Ok I will work these many hours per day and this and this and this"

In the end it always ended up like this:

"Oh gosh! I can work only 2 days this week, oh wait! I don't have any time for next 3 days"

This is because of my personal life, I can't just 24/7 work on the game. I also have social life and responsibilities I need to take care of.

I shouldn't have planned any release dates. That's why I won't give any release date for Chapter 5 until I'm sure that I can deliver it in time! :)
I've learned from my mistakes and I hope you will forgive me for these problems with Chapter 5!

Ok there's also one last thing I would like to talk about in this post! Let's move on to...

Teasers and new information for Chapter 5:

Chapter 5 as of now had 5 trailers and 35 teasers...

That's quite a lot and because of this I will release only one more teaser for it before release! I don't want to over tease this Chapter for you! It still has many surprises for you so don't worry! :)

This is my most ambitious project I have ever worked on so I hope you will like it!

I'm excited to release this final Chapter but also sad to end this story... after 3.5 years of development! (Yes! Henry's Son is 3.5 years old!)

I think this would be it for today! Development as of now is going well and I'll give you more news as time goes on!

One last fun fact:

Henry's Son was included in Fanverse Game Fest 2023 created by SmackNPie on his youtube channel!
Gameplay trailer was showcased there!

Ok that would be it! See you next time! :)
